Hello I am new to slackware. I installed version 13.37.
How do I launch a terminal from the keyboard when in KDE?
In Ubuntu it was ctr + alt + T

Go to KDE settings, Shortcuts and Gestures, Custom Shortcuts. Enable Examples and Run Konsole (same key sequence).

Thanks I would not have found that. I need command line access to shutdown properly if my touch pad locks up.

You may be power off by "power" button. Also, you may be use Alt+F1 to open Menu K. I have selected a own keyboard shortcut to call a Konsole: menu K > Settings > Regional and special features > Actions. I think, so same can make with: in a menu K > System right click on menu item Konsole, then select Change it.In a new opened window, look for Current keyboard Shortcut field, and change it.

Also found in this settings menu, under Global Keyboard Shortcuts, are the hotkeys for the KDE Session Manager. To shutdown directly, without prompting, just do Ctrl+Alt+Shift+PgDown. To reboot, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+PgUp.
